Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The yacht has comprehensive insurance for hull and equipment and boat liability insurance (no deductible, at least EUR/USD 1 million). The comprehensive insurance does not cover personal injury on board, the crew's belongings, or intentional or grossly negligent damage.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~110 HP engine burns roughly 8.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 185 L ≈ €361 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

Animals can only come aboard with our prior written consent, so please ask us before you book.

The yacht is for private use only. Regattas, commercial use such as training or carrying goods or passengers, and subletting are not allowed without our written consent. You also can't carry dangerous or undeclared dutiable goods.

Please don't leave a safe port if the forecast shows 7 Bft or more for your next leg. In your last 24 hours, stay close enough to the return port to arrive on time, as weather alone doesn't excuse a late return unless it is truly unforeseeable force majeure.

You can sail only within the sea area agreed in your contract and ship papers, and leaving it needs our express consent. If conditions are unusual, we may restrict the area further or ban night sailing.

Yes, we may ask for proof of your skipper's experience and licences before handover. If the skipper is clearly not able to sail the yacht safely, we can arrange a skipper at your cost or refuse handover.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
